how to limit characters in a row

Hey,
Does anyone know how I can limit the description field on this query to just display 20 characters. I've tried some of the ideas I've seen mentioned such as using substr but it doesn't seem to work for this criteria. Here is the script. If anyone has any ideas what might be the best way to do it I would be really grateful.
